The dead know nothing at all, neither are they rewarded any more.
Saint Hierome wrested this place foolishly,1 to the reward of the dead which were in purgatory. For Solomon seemeth to think that the dead are without all manner of feeling. And I think there is not a place in the scripture of more force for the dead that are fallen in sleep, understanding naught of our state and condition, against the invocation of Saints ⟨image 152⟩and fiction of Purgatory. It is an Hebrew phrase:

And I thinke there is not a place in the scripture of more force for the dead that are fallen in sléepe, vnderstanding naught of our state and condition, against the inuocation of Saintes ⟨image 152⟩and fiction of Purgatory.
